So many times I get plus-sized pieces that end up being so heavy, bulky, and overwhelming. But this piece is great- it has a wonderful lightness considering the ruching, sharkbite, and cowl neck. It's a lot going on but it's not overwhelming even on my petite 4'11" frame. Now, it was long and needed hemmed, but I expect that! Will look great with jeans and boots or with a skirt and heels.
